Windows 7 Freezes On Lenovo Y430 Ideapad
Oct 30, 2009
I installed Windows 7 Professional 64-bit on my Lenovo ideapad Y430 (which came with Vista Home Premium 32-bit). It worked fine for a few hours. However, it now freezes up within 1 minute after I sign on after rebooting. The cursor stops moving, Task Manager won't come up, no disk activity, etc. Booting in Safe Mode works fine, so I'm thinking it's an issue related to a driver or service that doesn't load in Safe Mode. Event Viewer doesn't reveal much of use; only the fact that I needed to power off without shutdown. Vista still runs fine on another partition. How I can get Windows 7 running again (e.g., by identifying and removing/updating the offending driver/server, if that's what's causing the problem)?

I recently left my laptop charging in sleep mode for about 10 hours, and then opened it to see a bluescreen. I shut it off and tried to start it up, and got a black screen after a short loading bar. It then gave me the option to repair, but after seeing "Loading Files," I got another black screen, sometimes with a mouse pointer, but nothing else. The same happens after trying to load Windows normally.Eventually I figured out that if I leave the screen on the black repair screen for a while, it will progress to the blue-ish background screen shown at the login, but the square that you click on to select my account doesn't appear, and my pointer is in a weird resolution. I can't progress beyond this screen.Last night, I was getting some weird freezes when I plugged in the charge cord, where the display would lock up for a few seconds after plugging the laptop in. Also, a few days ago, my computer started running really slowly and overheating, and eventually crashed with a shutdown. It crashed when I tried to start it again, but the second time, I ran it in repair mode and I was able to start up without issue.I've tried a number of things, but there appears to be no problems with the memory.

I need help and suggestions on what to do with this black screen crisis. Mine is a little different that others. so sorry if this is a repeated thread. ive looked everywhere, and no one has the issue when they have dual boot.I have dual boot on my laptop with windows 7 ultimate 32 bit and windows 7 home premium 64 bit. the home premium came pre installed on the laptop and the ultimate version i installed later dual boot (i needed some capabilities that home premium doesn't have).I cannot see anything on my screen after windows logo while booting up my laptop bcz of the black screen after the windows logo. When i boot into WINDOWS 7 HOME PREMIUM. i hear windows logon screen notification noise but see nothing! oddly enough even my built in webcam logs me in with VeriFace software with my face, passwordless! ALSO my laptop boots fine with windows 7 ultimate and i can see everything, and it works great! i need the other version to WORK cause my life is in that other version of windows. i cannot factory restore!!!
What i have tried: the keyboard is also unresponsive, bcz i held down a bunch of keys to see if it makes the beep noise. I closed the laptop lid to see if it goes into hibernation and waited 3 mins to see if it still does, so that when i open it i can see everything (it has worked before). nothing. i rebooted a bunch of times even with a second screen attached, tried to guess switch into projector mode with my function key and switch screen/projector button. i have also done a power cycle. i think the registry is screwed, or maybe the graphics card drivers are ruined. have not done a registry repair through the other windows version (doing that next). i have defragged both partitions for both of the windows 7 versions through the one that works.What may have caused it: the last time i used home premium, i rebooted so that i can use the ultimate version (for the extra capabilities). i was not watching and it booted up in home premium, and the built in cam is so fast that i merely looked at the laptop and it logged me in. i was being unpatient, bcz you have to wait for the lenovo programs to load before you can restart. so i forced shut down (very bad idea) by holding the power button and booted up in ultimate finally while watching.

I had problem starting my Lenovo ideapad z560. After many tries it started so I immediately launched one key app. laptop rebooted but showed a error saying 'Disc Read Error. Press ctrl+alt+del to restart'. Now I am using laptop in safe mode. One key app restores my laptop to earlier time. I don't have a windows cd. The OS is hidden in hard disc. Also my windows restore is not working and I don't want to lose my genuine windows.

I got a new Lenovo G570 which has been frequently freezing up, requiring a restart. Frequency varies from every 20 minutes to a few hours, in a wide variety of states and activities, sometimes even while installing updates at shutdown. Computer use seems to make it slightly worse. It can sit for 8 hours or more without problem if nothing is done right after boot, or if firefox is just up and sitting there. With Windows Media Player going, it lasts about 4 or 5 hours maybe. This is with me not interacting with it at all. When I do, it lasts much longer if I use the touchpad and leave the USB mouse unconnected.
I'm using Win 7 Home Premium 64 bit, OEM from Lenovo. I reinstalled it once using the system recovery utility from Lenovo, OneKey Recovery.
Performance is good right up until the point of the freeze, when everything immediately halts. Sounds will become a (near?) constant tone. The computer does not automatically restart or show any error screen.
ETA: I also ran it in safe mode for a day, simultaneously using WMP, Open Office, and USB mouse, and there were no problems.

I have a big problem with my lenovo T500. I installed Windows 7 RC x64 to my lenovo T500 (2082-53G) and when I install the ATI catalyst beta driver x64 v9.6 from ATI's homepage, my computer freezes at startup (some activity on HD but I can't move my mouse and many processes faile to start at boot).
Problem occurs only when Windows 7 beta driver for system interface or ricoh multicard reader is installed because it worked ok until I installed those drivers. I'm not the only one facing this problem: Lenovo T500 Thinkpad - WDM Radeon 3650 Driver Update Causes Screen to Freeze.

so I have a Lenovo desktop pc and I'm making upgrades to it to make it more of a gaming pc. Im a adding a new motherboard and CPU. I will be using some parts of this Lenovo and I will use the new parts that I get to build a better pc. Im going to be keeping the Lenovo HD (hard drive) and im wondering if I can just use the Operating system that is already installed on the hard drive. Is there anyway I can do this or do I have to buy a whole new copy of windows?

I am running Windows 7 on a Lenovo T60 laptop. When I try to download files or programs, I constantly get a message stating that there is insufficient storage. I have run disk cleanup and defragged multiple times and deleted everything that I am comfortable deleting with no improvement.

i purchased a lenovo g780 (21823lu) from newegg. when i received it, the performance was slow. i called lenovo tech and he had me put it in safemode to check a few things. we discovered it had windows 7 home premium 32bit instead of 64bit. the computer is full of bloatware. lenovo offered to send the 64bit disc.

When I start the laptop the windows boots and starts loading files but when the "Starting Windows" appears everything stops... I have waited for hours but no progress. I have tried it many times even from a USB flash drive but nothing.

I am trying to install Win XP over Win 7 (64bit) on my Lenovo Z560. Most (if not all) laptops does not have Floppy Drive any more and the tutorial suggests that I have to use a floppy disk to install Win XP SATA Driver/s just before I start to install Win XP to my laptop. How important to do this step? Can it be done later? The only way seems to be is using an external USB Floppy Drive? Then again, if I cannot use a USB Flash drive to load the driver/s, will the external USB floppy drive work at this stage of Win XP installation?
